A nitrogen generation system or generator is a machine that separates nitrogen molecules from compressed air. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Industrial Nitrogen Generator Market is expected to grow significantly during the forecasted period. Factors such as increasing demand for industrial nitrogen generator from the processed food sector is expected to drive the need for the Industrial Nitrogen Generator Market in the forecasted period. Further, increasing understanding around reducing food wastage due to unhygienic and improper packaging is expected to drive the need for the Industrial Nitrogen Generator Market in the forecasted period.

Furthermore, growth in demand for nitrogen gas from industrial processes used in various industries such as food & beverages, transportation, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and pulp & paper are expected to drive the need for the Industrial Nitrogen Generator Market in the forecasted period. However, the firm regulation in the industrial gas market, as gases are explosive, flammable, and corrosive, and for the storage of nitrogen gas, a particular temperature and pressure are required to avoid any accident and leakage, so firm regulations and measures are hampering the growth of the Industrial Nitrogen Generator market in the forecasted period.

Industrial Nitrogen generators are used in food & beverage, medical & pharmaceuticals, transportation, electrical and electronics, chemical and petrochemical, and other industries.

Industrial Nitrogen generators are used in the food & beverages industry to produce nitrogen, which is then used in the packaging and processing food and beverage products. The presence of moisture and oxygen has adverse effects on food products. Nitrogen creates an inert atmosphere, which helps preserve perishable food and beverage products for longer. Nitrogen gas is widely used in producing fruit juices, beer, wine, and other beverages. In the beverage sector, an increase in the consumption of packaged food products can be observed due to their convenience. Convenience features such as easy opening, portability, and single-use packaging drive food packaging innovations for processed foods. Visual appeal and convenience are the two aspects that are driving the food packaging market.

Industrial Nitrogen Generators can separate nitrogen molecules from the compressed air. Nitrogen generators and compressors have the ability to provide purities up to 99.85% and are reliable and safe with this help to create a considerable amount of savings for companies that require nitrogen. In the food & beverage industry, industrial nitrogen generators are usually used to produce nitrogen. This is majorly utilized in the packaging and processing of beverage and food products because moisture and oxygen provide an unfavourable atmosphere for food products. Nitrogen provides an inert atmosphere that allows preserving food & beverage products for a long duration of time. The increasing demand in the food & beverage industry is the primary factor propelling the growth of this market.

North America is anticipated to lead the global nitrogen generator market during the forecasted period, owing to the high demand for nitrogen generators in the region, especially in the US. Industrial Nitrogen Generators can separate nitrogen molecules out of the compressed air. Furthermore, the membrane nitrogen generator system utilizes selective permeability, while the PSA-type nitrogen generator uses a Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS), which can separate molecules from compressed air. PSA-based industrial nitrogen generators produce a continuous stream of nitrogen gas through pressure swing adsorption from compressed and purified air. PSA nitrogen generators are also utilized in automotive electronics, consumer electronic product manufacturing, metal processing, etc. These are the most commercially used Industrial Nitrogen generators due to their ease of use, efficient operations, and low cost. PSA technology can produce the highest purity level of nitrogen for food processing, providing an inert atmosphere in electronics manufacturing, transporting perishable food products, and so on. The stationary industrial generators segment is estimated to show the highest growth in this market as they are broadly utilized in food & beverage processing. These industrial nitrogen generators are completely integrated and do not require separate air, eradicating the requirement of handling high-pressure cylinders. These systems are also extensively durable and stable under normal operating conditions. Moreover, an increase in nitrogen application in fire and corrosion control and as dielectric gas in high-voltage equipment is anticipated to push the adoption of nitrogen generators globally. In addition, growth in industrialization, increasing demand due to changing demographics, such as rising disposable incomes, improving living standards, and government initiatives to attract business investments in various industries are also driving the market for nitrogen generators globally.

The market's key players are Air Liquide, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Atlas Copco AB, Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd., and Linde.

In January 2021, Atlas Copco acquired the operating business of Purification Solutions LLC, a leading air treatment and nitrogen generator manufacturer. The purchase aims to enhance market share and expedite commercial development in North America, Europe, and other critical markets.

On March 2023, Atlas Copco will reveal how breweries can offset the ever-escalating costs of energy and CO2 through the multiple benefits of on-site generated nitrogen gas.
